Final Flashcards
Most popular artic test
- Goldman Fristoe
- Kahn Lewis phonological complementary test
- DEAP
- PAT
Artic tests designed to
- elicit spontaneous naming based on presentation of pics
- similar to expressive vocab test
- listening for a target phoneme in a specific position
- blends in beg. Of words
4 Problems with artic tests
- only examines sounds/phonemes in selected words. 1 shot deal binary scoring +/-
- doesn’t give enough info about phonological system of child
- don’t test all sounds in all contexts in general American English
- look at limited aspect of c’s total ability. Only small portion of their articulatory behavior
Factors to consider when selecting an artic test (4)
- tests appropriateness for age/developmental level of client
- can the test supply a standardized score
- does test analyze the sound errors
- does it include an adequate sample of the sounds
Supplemental info of artic tests (4)
- try best to record your assessment esp. for speech/lang sample
- easier to analyze in naturalistic setting
- transcribe entire word
- determine stimulability for error sound production
Scoring artic tests (2 ways)
- binary: +/- right or wrong
- 5 way: gives opp. To analyze error productions, document event
- SODA
- correct
SODA
- Substitution
- Omission
- Distortion
- Addition
Phonetic Transcription
- documents speech event it does not judge.
- more precise than writing own symbols
- universal way to document comm.
Narrow Markers
-further delineates the characteristics of the error
Stimulability Testing
- for correct target production
- can client able to produce /ch/ phoneme can stop /t/ or deaffricate /sh/–closer in production
- can client correctly produce target sound
- start w. sound in isolation, cv syllable (open), CVC syllable (closed)
Spontaneous Language Sample
- minimum of 3-5 minutes
- make sure you have planned so you know what your client likes, know your audience
- plan for some diversity not all toys, use a storybook, magic bag of toys w. something broken
- audio/video record in right environment
- transcribe as much as you can on the spot
Oral Motor Exam aka oro-motor
- eval of speech mech.
- necessary to evaluate both STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of speech mech.
- 5 steps
- also diadochokinesis
- assess lingual function and structure, protrude, elevate, lateralize, rotate clockwise, depression, rotate counterclockwise
- look at respiration basic at rest 1:1 resiprosity inhalation/exhalation
- open mouth breather and cavicular breathing
1st step of oral motor exam
- head and face
- symmetry
- proportion eyes same size spaced equally
- overall appearance, drooping, lack of muscle tone–distinctive features
- note birth marks casually
2nd step of oral motor exam
- dentition (teeth)
- normal class 1 occlusion
- class 2 malocclusion (overbite)
- class 3 underbite
- turning/rotating of teeth in or out
- missing teeth
- discoloration, bottle rot
3rd step of oral motor exam
-tongue: normal size, color, and texture
4th step of oral motor exam
- hard and soft palate, need pen light
- smooth transition from hard palate to soft
- ruggae (bumpies)
- make sure no cleft
5th step of oral motor exam
- tonsils and uvula
- normal size, shape, color
- should look like tear drop
- biped uvula has slit
diadochokinesis
-ease of movement: able to produce individ phonemes of /p^t^k^/ w ease and accuracy
other assessment measures
- approx. 80-85% of clinical pop w delayed speech &/or disordered speech will have associated lang. problems therefore lang. testing is recc. for every c who has phonetic or phonemic disorder
- rarely are artics just artic problems. affects academically syntax, pragmatics, semantics, morph.
Hearing Screenings
- in school by nurse.
- identification audiometry
- need history-call parent, ear infection, myringotomy placement-tubes in ears for chronic infections
- visual inspection
- acoustic immittance measures tympanogram
Cognitive Appraisal
- not qualified for IQ testing
- test speech, lang, fluency..
- c will have lower iq scores if lang/speech problems
IQ
- verbal, predetermined ability
- performance skills acquired during formal educational training
Special Considerations
- emerging phonology-pd. where conventional words begin to appear as a means of comm
- ch w developmental delays/disorders emerging
- phon. phase is different much smaller expressive vocabs their wods more likely unintell
- reduced repertoire of consonants as normal developing peers
- negatively impact semantics and morphosyntactic development
Independent Analysis
- analyzing clients productions
- not compared to adult model of norm need 3 types of data
- inventory of speech sounds: all vowels & cons. productions of c
- syllable shapes c uses: using single sound prod. for everything? limiting to k, g, s….
- constraints on sound sequence of c: sound combos not producing? so substituting use same sequence of sounds & overuse them
Dialects
- lang variation/difference, not a disorder
- spoken by members of a partic. region, cultural or social community
- difference in pronunciation based on geographical or cultural background
Regional Dialects
-represent a set of ling. features where pronunciation is predominant words pronounced a very specific way
Cultural Dialects
- rule governed
- most prevalent dialect is African Am. English
- no pluralization, certain rules w.in cultural dialect
ESL
- speakers of engl. as 2nd lang.
- LOTE
- languages other than english
- ELL-english lang. learners
Unintelligible Child
- so disordered that their message really can’t be understood even in a shared context dinos, thomas, farm should be able to understand pig from horse from him
- not limited to any specific age group bc many are transients
- best way to go is choose topic you know they like and attempt to structure convo high amnts. of structure
- use routine & scripted events
Routine
- c knows and understands progression of sequence
- brushing teeth, make pbj, make bed, trick or treating
scripted activities
- activities they have performed before
- what they are learning in class
- please excuse my..
- they are familiar w the vocab
Phonological Process Analysis
- try to id what subs are begin made but looking at patterns of phonological processes
- constantly fronting, backing, stopping
severity
- more objective
- attempt to quantify degree of involvement
- mild, moderate, severe, profound
intelligibility
- judgement very subjective made by clinician based on how much of utterance can be understood
- perception regarding client’s intell is influenced by many factors
factors intelligibility are influenced by
- volume
- acoustics
- visuals of speaker
- prior knowledge
- experience
prognosis
-expected or anticipated progress over an extended pd of time
Phonetic Approach
- traditional or motor approach
- each sound is treated individually one after other
phonetic errors
- motor production problems
- client is directed where to position their artics
- use a mirror, visuals
multiple sounds approach
- teach multiple sounds at a time
- can be very confusing
- use if sounds are very different
Therapy Sequence
- 80-85% accuracy over 3 or more consecutive sessions is considered mastery
- certain stages are needed for some, others not
Dismissal Criteria
- a lower level of accuracy is acceptable in spont. speech contexts
- 50% accuracy over 3 sessions in spontaneous speech
- assume client will generalize skill
Ear Training/ Auditory Discrim
- client develops ability to discrim btwn target sound & irregular sound production they are making
- client asked to listen & discrim clinician’s speech (interpersonal discrim)
- id old way vs. new way
- want them to id called isolation phase
- stimulation phase-provide auditory bombardment “L” in story, stimulate them
Metalinguistic Skills
-requires to think about lang
discrimination
-putting sound in diff positions
Sound Modification Method
-modifying sound by finding phonetically similar sound that client can already accurately produce /s/ can produce and /f/ cant produce are continuiants..show similarities and work w what they have
